"Stella di Campalto only has one new wine to present this year, and that is the 2013 Rosso di Montalcino. This wine is right out of Stella's celebrated Sangiovese playbook. It shows a beautiful sense of crispness and brightness that translates to both the bouquet and the palate. Wild roses and cherries give the wine a sense of warmth and liveliness. Indeed, those delicate floral aromas are very specific to both the vintage and the house style."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
Tuscany's signature red, giving high-acid, savory wines of sour cherry, herbs and firm tannin. It is the backbone of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscans.
